It's Not Too Late!


I got an email today from someone who said he's leaving for Hawaii tomorrow and wishes he had contacted me to help him get in shape before he'll be strolling the beaches. 

Well, it's too late for him to have the beach body he'd like for Hawaii, but it's not too late for him (& you) to make progress—fitness-related or otherwise—before the summer! 

Memorial Day Weekend is 10 weeks away. For those of us that have been affected by the bitter cold and frequent snow this winter, 10 weeks seems far off. But, as we know, time flies. Summer will be here before we know it. Why not use these next 10 weeks to make progress towards a goal?

Picture yourself 10 weeks from now. You'll probably have some plans for the holiday weekend. Maybe you'll be going down the shore; maybe you'll be going to a party, or multiple parties; maybe you'll be hosting people at your house. You'll probably be with other people—family, friends, neighbors, co-workers—some of whom you haven't seen in a while or spent time talking to.

Think about catching up with people over that weekend. What would you like to be able to talk about? A trip you just took? Renovations to your house? A course you completed? A race you just ran? How you lost 15 pounds? Some books you read?

The next 10 weeks may fly by, but it's enough time to accomplish some small and big things. Spend some time this weekend thinking about what you'd like to achieve. Next, figure out what steps you need to take to get it done. Then, start working on it!

Finally, look forward to Memorial Day weekend, when you'll be celebrating not only the un-official start to summer, but also your achievement(s)! :)
